5th gen front bumper sag near wheel well

Hey 4Runner friends!

I’m wondering if this ever happened to anyone and knows of any fixes?

I recently bought a used 2022 4Runner TRD ORP and it wasn’t until a couple days after I got it home that I realized the driver side front bumper is sagging a little. I understand I may have to take it into a body shop, but hoping to avoid that and pay extra money I could be putting into my setup (you all get it lol)

Any advice is much appreciated! Thanks!

 

In the second pic I think the hardware isn’t stock. Has it been in an accident?

 

@nova not that I know of. no accidents on the carfax

 

I agree. Looks like someone scabbed some jenky shit together.

 

I agree with the other posters. It looks like it's been damaged somehow.

Ordinarily, I'd say to just try popping it back into the clip. There is (or should be) a plastic clip along the top that the bumper cover snaps into.

Also, the top screw hole looks stretched out, like it got caught on something backing up.

 

I agree with the comments above. That screw in the second picture doesn't look OEM, and the hole seems to be stretched or damaged.

Try removing the bumper and re-installing it with some new OEM hardware? Maybe with some patience you can get it to line up better. Removal is much easier than you think, tons of YouTube videos on how to do it.
